<h4>Chapter 418: Chapter 418</h4><h4></h4>


    "Sister..." Su Jiao’s face was streaked with tears.


    She was truly frightened. She had been pampered all her life, never having suffered even a single day’s hardship.


    But in this period, after their father stopped caring for them, her mother, struggling to look after herself, of course, couldn’t care for her, and due to the series of blows, her mother started to drink heavily and gamble.


    Sometimes it seemed like her mother wasn’t even all there mentally, and when drunk, she would look at Su Jiao with bitter resentment, feeling it was all Su Jiao’s fault.


    It was all because of Su Jiao that she had ended up like this.


    And Su Jiao, who had never suffered or faced hardship, suddenly had to confront this cruel society and world, finding it nearly impossible to navigate. She looked for jobs, but everywhere turned her away forck of experience.


    But she needed to live, and Su Yukan had long since cut off her funds. She sold her jewelry, clothes, and bags, but her mother took the money to buy alcohol and lost it in gambling.


    Mother and daughter were almost forced onto the streets, plummeting from the clouds to hell in just a short time.


    Out of options to avoid homelessness and to survive, Su Jiao resorted to delivering takeout, which is why she now appeared so dark and thin.


    Her pride was gone; her backbone was nearly bent under the pressure.


    Truly out of options, she came here during her spare time from work, hoping to catch a glimpse of Su Zhe. Because Zhu Xinyan was sick, even with non-stop work and no sleep, she couldn’t afford a day’s worth of hospital expenses.


    And now, looking at Su Lu, who was still gentle and beautiful, with an elegant demeanor, Su Jiao didn’t even have time to feel ashamed. It seemed that she was only now realizing that the most gentle and kind person in the family had always been Su Lu.


    And it was the realization of this that caused her, perhaps subconsciously knowing she was easy to bully, to always pick on her.


    Compared to Su Lu, everyone else’s hearts were colder and harder.


    Su Jiao wiped the tears from her face, "Sister, please help me..."


    "What are you dragging Su Lu into this for?" Su Zhe had not wanted to waste words with her, but upon seeing her approaching Su Lu for help, he frowned and spoke coldly, "Now you remember to call her sister, but you know in your heart how you’ve treated her all these years. Why are you dragging Su Lu into this now..."


    Su Jiao stared unwaveringly at Su Lu, "Sister, I know I was wrong. Please help me... My mom is sick, I truly have no other way, if she doesn’t get money for treatment, she might die."


    It must be said, Su Jiao was indeed right; Su Lu was the most gentle and kind-hearted in the family.


    Especially now that Su Lu had be a mother, she seemed even gentler than before.


    Su Jiao reached out and grabbed Su Lu’s hand, "Sister, I beg you, help me..."


    Su Zhe’s brow furrowed even more tightly, his impatience growing as he called out to the security not far away, "Did I hire you guys to watch a show?"


    The security then hurried over, previously unsure whether it was appropriate to intervene as, after all, this looked like Mr. Su’s family affair.


    Now they came over and pulled Su Jiao away, who, being so thin now, was easily removed.


    She kept calling out weakly, "Sister, sister please help me, I beg you..."


    As the guards escorted her outside, Su Lu pursed her lips and with a slight frown between her brows, turned her head and asked, "How much money?"


    Su Zhe immediately red at her, "Su Lu, you!"


    Su Lu hung her head and lightly scratched the tip of her nose with her index finger, "I know I don’t have a strong temper, don’t be mad. But being sick, if she really were to die, after all, we’ve met. Even if she’s been unkind to me, I wouldn’t wish death upon her. It hasn’te to that."


    Su Zhe still furrowed his brow, it was exactly because of this kindheartedness that Lulu was always getting bullied!


    It could be seen as anger at herck of resistance. But Su Zhe was actually well aware that it was precisely because of Su Lu’s detachment frompetition and strife, herck of aggression.


    Although it made her an easy target for bullying, it also made those who liked her want to treat her even better.


    "Moreover, I’ve be a mother myself, let’s say... I’m doing it to build up virtue for my child," Su Lu said to Su Zhe. Seeing that her brother was no longer that angry, Su Lu then turned her gaze to Su Jiao, who was still being held by the security guard, "How much money? For your mom’s treatment."


    Su Jiao was stunned, she indeed hoped that Su Lu would help her, but she never really thought that Su Lu would actually help.


    Thus, at this moment, she was somewhat dazed, it took her a few seconds to grasp the situation, "The doctors say it will cost about five, five hundred thousand all together."


    Su Jiao sniffled, no longer continuing to cry, and seriously said, "Taking into ount what insurance can cover, the out-of-pocket portion is about three hundred thousand. I’m working and earning money now, but if my mom’s illness continues to drag on, it will worsen. By the time I earn the money, it might be toote for treatment, so..."


    Su Jiao was very afraid that Su Lu wouldn’t want to help her, so she quickly added, "I-I will pay it back, I can write an IOU first."


    Su Lu looked steadily at Su Jiao.


    This girl, spoilt and haughty from a young age, even now, she still remembered what Su Jiao looked like as a child, dressed up like a little princess, proud, haughty, beautiful...


    And this woman now, with her dark, gaunt visage haggard, they hardly seemed like the same person.


    Su Lu’s voice was very calm, devoid of schadenfreude or arrogance, "Having heard what you said, I now believe that you truly know your mistakes and are willing to change..."


    Because if it were the old Su Jiao, she would definitely not mention paying it back; she would have felt it was her due.


    When people realize that nothing in this world is owed to them, it’s a sign that they have grown.


    Su Zhe’s voice was cold from the side, but it wasn’t the same attitude of driving her out as before.


    He made a phone call to the secretary’s office, and soon a man in a suit and leather shoes came down, "Mr. Su, what are your instructions?"


    Su Zhe briefly instructed about the matters of Zhu Xinyan’s treatment, and going forward, he had the secretary handle it.


    After issuing his instructions, Su Zhe then led Su Lu and Jing Qiao towards the private elevator.


    Su Jiao hurriedly rushed forward a few steps.


    Su Zhe narrowed his eyes, coldly looking at her, "Anything else?"


    Su Jiao shrank her neck, she was genuinely afraid of Su Zhe, from childhood she had always regarded him with awe, only back then it was because Su Zhe was still her brother, but now, perhaps it was only fear.


    In a soft voice, Su Jiao said to Su Lu, "Sis-sister, thank you, I’m sorry for what happened before."


    Su Lu looked at her for a few seconds, not sure what to say, so she could only nod gently.


    Entering the elevator, the doors slowly closed.


    shes of memories from her childhood suddenly came to her mind, of Su Jiao pushing her into the swimming pool, tearing up her homework and sketchbook, ruining her clothes... countless acts of malicious bullying.


    She hadn’t forgotten, nor could she simply forgive like a saint; she had just let it go because there was no way to avenge herself without turning into a monstrous figure just like her adversary.


    Su Zhe spoke up, "Bo Jingshen must cling to you because he knows how soft-hearted you are, right?"
